I was on the watch list for a while. No big deal. When I flew it only added about 30 seconds to the check in time while they queried another data base.

I always thought that my name was not that common but I am finding out that there are a mess of people that share the same name as I do. Go figure?

It is a watch list. It is not like I had armed guards arresting me every time I stepped into an airport. After a few trips, my ID was flagged in the same terrorist watch list as a good guy and I have not had any problems.

I think Byers is trying to make this a bigger thing than it is TERRORIST WATCH LIST ohh very scary words.

Even the guy on the list Hayes, said that it is not a big deal.
